18 Pencil Drawings Of Nature That Will Make You Want To Be An Artist

A sketch is a complex hand drawing that might not take a lot of time, but it can show very clearly the most important characteristics of an object. It is a swift, but very efficient and artsy way of drawing something that has just caught your eye and you want to keep it on paper for ever or to transform it in painting later.

So, let’s say that you go somewhere beautiful, you forgot your camera home and you want to keep that scenery in your mind forever. You take your talent out of the bag, a pencil and a sheet of paper and begin drawing.

Now, leaving jokes aside, every artist has started off with pencil sketching and it is yet one of the greatest forms or art. Sketches are also a good way of scribbling down some work and leave it unfinished until you have the time and the disposition to make it great. You just outline the important parts and leave it to finish later. An artist’s most used tools are graphite pencils which make a sketch hard to take your eyes off it if done right, even if it is partially finished.

But that’s enough talking. Let’s look at some great examples of sketches that show the beauty hidden behind pencil lines. A pencil sketch can bring out more beauty and wonder than you could have ever thought of. So, here they are. Our 18 favourite pencil drawings of nature on the internet!
